Since I do a lot of polishing I figured I should come up with a name that would include everything automotive.

So we decided last night that we will be, well I will be rebuilding the d16z6 that came with the civic. My friend is too busy getting his house ready for their baby they are expecting in February.

I'll be taking the motor to work and cleaning it up to see what I'm working with and what I'll need. Most likely just a oem rebuild with a different cam. Comp makes a cam that will work with stock components. Only a 8hp increase but it's supposed to help low end and make the whole Rev range usable.

I'm thinking of rebranding my racing page on the bookfaces myself, as it's hardly ever about just the car anymore and I'd like to be able to include other content without it feeling too off-topic, such as when I drive others' cars. Something like Spaz Racing or similar is likely going to result, or maybe just throw caution to the wind and make it a bit more "professional" as Charles Miller Racing.

My roommate owns a 1973 VW Thing that she and a shop restored over 7 years. I was lucky to be invited to a car show for weird cars and asked if she wanted to bring her car there. The owner also has a private race track and was doing a bracket racing event. We were shooting for 1'16

They look the same as pretty much any generic winter tire, so as long as the rubber is soft enough you'll be fine. I'm running cheap ass ones on both cars (well, storing the Evo on them now that I no longer ice race it), and they've been perfectly fine.

Starter was beginning to fail so I changed it out and also one of the bolts had backed its way out, luckily it didn't damage all of the threads and just replaced it with a new one, was going to replace the PCV but ran out of daylight and heat.

Had a little time to work on the civic, didnt take too many pictures but we got the transmission off the original motor and found that the clutch was exploded and figured thats why it wasn't going into gear. Just going to put the 280,000km motor back together with new seals and head bolts and hope it last longer than 3 events

What's up everyone? Haven't been posting lately because I started a new job and have been busy with all 4 vehicles myself and my gf own. I've been posting videos on my YouTube channel once a week about the work I do on them so if you want to keep track please subscribe to it. Thanks!

Well long time no update. Mostly due to extreme frustration. New engine has a bottom end knock and keeps overheating. Installed a new rad and thermostat which seemed to help but after a good 2nd gear pull it overheated again. Pretty much has just been sitting like this since end of July.

So I have 2 engines with bottom end knocks. 1 engine that did run but burnt oil. So I think the game plan now is to run engine #1 with engine #2 head.

I hate when projects turn out like this. I bought a Honda specifically for reliability but it has been far from that.

Any input or suggestions on what my next step should be would be greatly appreciated.
